Riddles in guesses. A pear hangs - you can’t eat. Savushkin S.N.

It is not the result that is important, but the reasoning. This book for parents who want to see how their child reasons and searches for the correct answer, rejecting the wrong ones. At first, children do not always understand that a riddle is a question, and remember the answer prompted by adults. And then from time to time they broadcast this answer mechanically. Therefore, we recommend not folk riddles (often rather complicated) for starters, but simple modern ones, with a rhymed answer at the end.

This book for children who have passed the first stage and are already ready for the “Reflections” process. At this stage, perhaps the most common mistake-the inability to take into account all the mystery parameters, they miss something, clutching individual definitions. For example: "In summer, gray, and in winter white." They can recall the white bear, not considering that it is white in winter and in summer.

In this book - a choice of 4 answers. One is the traditional correct one, the second (and sometimes the third) is the right one, suitable for all criteria. The fourth is wrong. The child will be forced to think in order to figure it out, and adults, of course, should help him in this. Here, for example, the mystery is "not a tc, does not spin, but dresses people."

How do we reason?

One of the pictures is knitting needles. They knit, not weave. Of course, a sweater, mittens, and a scarf can be tied, that is, knitting needles still dress people. But we are talking about one, but two knitting needles. So the answer, it seems, is not a knitting needle. Fabrics are made of wool (from which dresses, coats and trousers are sewn), and knitting wool. The sheep, one might say, dresses everyone. But doesn’t the tailor sew clothes and does not dress people? From cotton, as well as from sheep’s wool, weave fabrics and even make yarn for knitting. Therefore, three answers are legitimate for this riddle, although the classic is a sheep.
